Rothy’s Shoes Review and Giveaway

A fun giveaway for seriously cute, wearable shoes made from…plastic water bottles???

So it’s the beginning of January and you deserve healthy low carb recipes. Which are coming, I promise, because I have recipes aplenty. But you also deserve cute shoes, don’t you think? Something stylish but wearable, something comfortable but absolutely adorable. Better yet, something that recycles some of the wasted materials that are cluttering up our planet. Shoes made out of old plastic water bottles. Is that even possible? Well apparently it is. Introducing Rothy’s.

Let me just say that this first. This review and giveaway is entirely my own, not sponsored by the company. But I spotted an ad for these shoes a few weeks before Christmas and I was intrigued. They were indeed adorable and I LOVED the mission, but could such shoes be wearable? Could they be comfortable enough to walk around for prolonged periods of time? Wouldn’t they be stiff and uncomfortable, being made from plastic bottles? Wouldn’t they chafe and give me blisters?

I ended up wearing mine on an emergency trip across the country just before Christmas. I wore them through two flights and three different airports on the way there, and then the same on the way back again. Being slip-on flats, they were perfect for going through security, no laces or straps to worry about. The material is astonishingly soft, feeling more like cloth than like plastic, so they aren’t at all stiff. After wearing them for several days with long walks getting between flights in large airports, I had no blisters. I did have one small spot on my right foot where the edge of the upper chafed a little. It’s the sort of sore that happens with many new shoes and nothing that a bandaid and a little time to toughen up wouldn’t solve. Oh and did I mention that they are machine washable???

So I would happily recommend these to anyone looking for cute flats that also have something of a “purpose”. And I would easily consider buying more for myself. I got the Birdseye Plum flat because I figure it would go with everything but I might consider a brighter, fun colour for my next purchase. My only hesitation with these shoes is that they are quite expensive, running from $125 to $145 dollars per pair. Which leads me to my next point…

I like them so much and I want to spread the word so I am going to give one winner a $100 gift certificate to Rothy’s. Yep, this is completely at my own expense because I am so impressed. That way, you can choose your own pair in your own size at your leisure. Right now, they only ship to the 50 US states so I can’t have this open to residents of other countries (sorry!).

These are so cool! They can go with my Girlfriend Collective leggings made of plastic bottles. I would go with the basic black model 001 flat. I don’t own a pair of comfortable black flats, which is CRAZY!

Thanks for telling us about these shoes and the chance to win a pair. I’ve never heard of them but as someone who has my share of foot issues, I’m always on the lookout for a stylish, flat shoe that’s also comfortable. Thanks!

I would love to try a pair of these shoes. I am so intrigued that they are made of plastic and are machine washable, and they are very cute! I think I would like them in black. I prefer the rounded toes, too.

Love the look of the flats and small heels. Since I broke my ankle 4 years ago, any heel above 2″ are out for me. These look really comfortable. You said they feel like material? will they soak through to your feet when they get wet it the rain? Thanks

I’ve been watching these shoes for a while and wondering if they were worth the price. They are gorgeous! I would like to get the Red or Jellybean colors. The red is just so luxurious and the Jellybean green is fun. Thanks for having this giveaway!

I’m kinda weird about these shoes. I have a weird foot, and this style of shoe usually doesn’t do it for me. I’ve gotten blisters on top of blisters from similar shoes of this style. I’m willing to try these, though. Shoes are always a good thing!

I like them all! Such a great idea! Love how they use recycled materials and so cute! And I am always looking for comfortable, stylish shoes. Are they supportive? I run, so I have to be careful about what shoes I wear when not running.
